Klimek, Hanel, and Kautzky-Willer on optimal gender-specific treatment
CSH Associate Faculty Peter Klimek and Rudolf Hanel from MUW, partnered up with the Austrian Researcher of the Year 2016 Alexandra Kautzky-Willer to take a closer look on gender related differences in the treatment of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cardiovascular diseases or cancers. The study is titled “Optimal gender-specific treatment paths on healthcare multiplex networks”. Their goal is clear: They intend to contribute to more stringent considerations of gender differences in the treatments of NCDs and thus to better targeted, more patient oriented and more efficient therapeutic approaches which contribute to cost reductions and the better allocation of resources.
